results leading to a. syrian rebels squeeze more. diplomatic . u.s. secretary of state john kerry. just. rewards. thanks so much for joining us here today.

faced with a deadlocked political system after a big parliamentary election and with all domestic votes counted no single political group has enough support to take the reins of the debt ridden nation. the first thing we can say at this point is that it's. back with a vengeance just to ship. a man of. political corpse just a couple of months ago from. actually seems to be holding a really good. seats in the senate but again he is tied with me for the number for the number one position in the senate now if we look at the lower house however parliament does seem like the majority of the. claimed victory there but you have to understand that this is not because so many people have voted for him it is because. of

a lot. of the party. even by the tiniest margin and that is exactly the situation in this case because. as well as the new colors are all essentially tied in the parliament as well so what we have at this point is a total of. some of the newspaper headlines. this morning is the country is governable. and it does seem like a very very high possibility for it's only what happens here is vital for the economy confidence bankers and politicians over. their hearts because there is a certain total. total disparity in the population is lost the one thing that they have made clear is that they have had enough of. the technocrats from brussels it seems like why are you not really saying yes to any one single party.

that has been implemented by him these draconian measures have been highly unpopular in the country and so we are doing everything. right. and just willing to do. anything even voting for a man like that who is totally inexperienced and is not really a politician he's a state of the former stand up comedian she's not quite the leader of the five star movement he is sort of the face of the movement he's not going to be sitting there in the parliament but if you think enough of a good week that politics has been brought in in philly for the past couple of decades they never could go he says he has no clear definition of the problem that it's only in space think even basically is just empty everything and establishment and even the five star movement is not calling themselves a non party and this is what people are voting for of course we have a lot of young people majority of back. people and so he has voted this is

a very interesting election and you could say the results really are revolutionary in this respect. that the political analyst pallotta phony he says the elections of ultimately pushed italy into another state of. people who need to be out of the measures which are not produced the structure of the forms of the society you don't have to have trust to build a future for. the work even for those who have planned to do the work force. of promises which have not been fulfilled the second left the. getting what it was already in the. elections but certainly many people are wondering why you didn't make the reforms in the previous the stations where they had the majority so the situation is very chaotic at the moment

it is not certain that the government can be forced if not the coalition government to believe all the major political forces that are present in the parliament. and as the markets lose ground sharply at the prospect of a hung italian parliament the kaiser report science its attention to the fixing of interest rates so that's coming up next hour right here on c. in this there were thousands of e-mails between thousands of traders or actually a few dozen traders saying set the libel rate at a rate that is not true righ it for me and they're saying that this is somehow complicated that we can't do anything about it because there are signs of innocence outside this circle of the actual right there's an innocent act being committed somewhere in the universe so should we apply a standard of guilt to this admission of guilt by h.s.b.c. yet i just we see admitted that there was laundering money and financing terrorism but somebody somewhere buried in a setback something in a parallel universe perhaps so can we call it just b.c. guilty can we give you say oh oh oh wow there's three thousand mexicans headless

because of the money laundering they just created it is terrorism but should we care because after all somebody committed it is an act somewhere so they are not guilty. next hour here on the finale though the new u.s. secretary of state's first assignment has seen him give in to pressure from the syrian opposition he pledged more aid in return for the rebels agreeing to talk john kerry along with his british counterpart william hague has made concessions in order to drag the syrian national coalition to the upcoming friends of syria meeting and the group initially refused to go to the gathering of its global supporters using them up and also doing enough to overthrow the assad regime some analysts now feel that western powers are being blackmailed by the very group they helped to create. both countries pledged more aid so now they are coming and i think it's sort of outrageous that they just expect people to give them aid you

know they want more they want lethal aid and i think they're really clamoring for that united states has said. really bad luck funneling arms into conflicts everything from the soviet period in afghanistan to what happened when they attacked libya and gadhafi his arms ended up in mali and i think it's better to get with this negotiating process they had to bribe them to get to get him to do that i don't think they want any negotiations and i think they'll probably try to block at this point because i think they think they're winning and when you're winning a war at least you think you're winning it i'm not saying they're really winning it but they're going to be intransigent and now want to see how it plays out on the battlefield. and the pledges that led to the syrian rebels you came in with john kerry's visit to the u.k. and the first stop on a diplomatic marathon today he's in to meet russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov

and his auntie's and he said now reports a lack of harmony in relations between moscow and washington will provide the backdrop for the talks. conflict in syria miss out on defense and u.s. expansion of projects in eastern europe plus iran and north korea's nuclear programs amid test and escalating rhetoric these issues have been on the table for years now let's take a closer look at some of them syria ripped apart by violence for two years now a militant opposition there trying to force out president also that russia from the beginning has pushed for a diplomatic solution and avoiding intervention at all costs while saying that time is limited moscow still believes negotiations are the way to go the u.s. has constantly called for asa to step down while supporting rebels despite them not being able to unify or willing to sit down for talks with asad a strictly one sided solution although recently the obama administration has taken

a more distant tone on syria perhaps thanks to fallout from other arab spring countries like libya and egypt the nuclear ambitions of iran and north korea remain high on the agenda especially with north korea's recent underground test but again while both russia and the u.s. condemn any nuclear steps or weaponization the two differ greatly on how to deal with them russia's against threats of more sanctions or further isolation while the u.s. has gone as far as saying military intervention it's not off the table especially in the case of iran in europe and u.s. plans to expand on missile defense systems and russia's concerns over its national security are considered the number one issue to have sidetracked a so-called reset but a shadow over by lateral relations is now russian children adopted by american parents the latest russian child to die might seem mean three years old only moscow

was informed of the tragedy a month after mark seems death his legs head and internal organs of the edge of the severely bruised my. he was adopted by a u.s. family from the same orphanage as dimitri yakovlev who died of heat stroke in two thousand and eight after being left inside an overheated car yacob lives name is now the title of a rush limbaugh that prohibits the adoption of russian children by u.s. citizens well critics say the law it's too harsh while supporters claim it's the only thing to be done until the us kind of sort of the safety of russian adoptees and adequate justice for violent crimes against children autism is an hour and another of obama's recent nominations this time the new military chief faces his latest battle today coming up here on r t we report on where chuck hagel stands after being told what hung out to dry in a bitter partisan standoff. german peace activists are outraged by increasing

their sales to gulf countries saying bolin is ignoring the dubious human rights records of its client supreme court opinion on the story coming up for you shortly . for now though the european union says there will be no relief and sanctions on offer when iran holds major talks with world powers in kazakhstan. where u.s. officials had suggested could be a let up in restrictions if it limits enrichment activities and closes one of its nuclear sites iran is currently bending under severe trade and military sanctions amid accusations is developing a nuclear bomb former washington advisor told says the measures have nothing to do with atomic fears. the iranians causation as they are and for five thousand years certainly longer than questions of nations or any western civilizations and they're not suicidal. they know that's where the nuclear weapons they would be

obliterated washington this thing in being pushed by israel for a long time to effect regime change in iran. and the nuclear program as an excuse to put pressure on iran to try to cause regime change but i'm not saying that a nuclear armed iran would be a good thing and what and but and if they aren't any country is not a good thing but the trash now behind pressure on iran and my opinion comes directly from israel else desire for regime change in iran and why the united states government to make that happen. and all the economic hardships iranians have suffered thanks to our sanctions may actually have prepared the ground for some of the country's other exports. has the story. the international ban on iranian oil cost the country around forty billion dollars in two thousand and twelve according to the u.

but despite this huge gap in iran's income officials have some good news indeed harsh sanctions norell experts have increased by least thirty percent from ego. so what may look like a bad thing when they actually play a positive role we've been asking our government for many years to decrease dependence on oil to at least fifty percent was too high up around eighty percent making our economy too vulnerable that some say today is a historic opportunity to finally get rid of this dangerous oil dependency and iran actually has a lot of alternative resources to feed from from well known copper it's to dade's via minerals and stones but wanting to street in particular appears to be thriving these days iran's famous discussions have been going through tough times in the last couple of years heavy frosts and terrible droughts have been damaging large parts of the harvest but this year with the country under tough economic sanctions

are doing better than ever. our currency rio fell by almost forty percent in october but i sell. issues both at home and abroad and i benefited from price rises of the red in the stash years and exported to more than one hundred countries worldwide but even if farmers cannot send them the broad they're confident business will remain brisk thousands of industry workers also benefit which have them overcome the country's highest ever inflation the amount of production and price of affect our salaries every year the ed ten to twenty percent of my salary this year i have some bonus to my daily payments but producers seem to be more protected than exporters while international sanctions don't stare rectory target the food industry current measures affected banking system making financial transactions a hard nut to crack they also penalize the banks that. are not in u.s.

and europe they may be in china or south america they penalize them for dealing with iraq the that's the main that's the main problem which is actually illegal internationally if oil is a black gold the nearest ashes must be a green one at least for iran locals say these small nods have great how benefits especially for the man well to the country it also gives strength iran's biggest mall expert has always been a significant source of revenue and as the latest round of sanctions poshest ever bites it's also something iran may have to rely on even more than before. three teeth from iran. faces pretrial hearing the alleged whistle blower supported by activists worldwide. attention. on the program. is. going to work because it's more

more news today. these are the images and seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are today. obama's pick for secretary of defense is to be voted on today chuck hagel certainly drew the ire of republicans from the outset largely due to a number. and a lackluster performance at his initial confirmation hearing didn't help the explanation. a number of republican senators including john mccain say

chuck hagel is not qualified for the job but they indicate that they're going to allow the full senate to vote because what happened ten days ago was that the senators voted to postpone the vote and to continue the debate so it's all likely that they're going to keep stalling the vote over chuck hagel is confirmation and he will be confirmed there's no doubt about that the votes are there but the humiliation that he had to go through during these last few months sent a message all by itself right now chuck hagel is this repenting figure who keeps apologizing for the positions he had taken before for the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator the congress effectively showed their readiness to destroy anyone who would allow themselves to descend from washington's core foreign policy belief so despite all the apologizing that mr hagel has done one senator said he almost had tears in his eyes as he apologized for his earlier statement about the israeli

about the influence of these really a lobby so despite all the repentance chuck hagel has still been under attack in some point the conservative media got so carried away that they misinterpreted someone's joke about charles association with a group of friends of hamas and they were in such a rush to break this story that they failed to check whether the group even exists and it doesn't so chuck hagel has been under attack not just for his previous statements but also for what he had never said and done. germany has doubled its weapons exports to the potion gulf nations this june twenty twelve sales amounting to almost one and a half billion euros almost one decider eurabia human rights activists accused of moral bankruptcy for selling arms to oppressive regimes and run a brawling from germany's priests movement says it's also plain illegal. politics and it is also a gate you have a lot of german law said that is not

a. part of that but in in conflict with. the reading is only full of pigs not only if you knew and its neighbor who country also there are a lot of internal politics and you know it is so. to the most. of the world it is totally unacceptable for us they believe that the part of you will have to secure german tourists the resources we need from the region so it is only a profit business and the profit businesses are the better off you will arrive and the people that are suffering because there are under pressure and because of the drive and by the fact that. artists are twenty minutes past the hour moscow time the african peacekeeping force to be based in mali will cost donations twice the previous estimate that's according to ivory coast's foreign minister and the price

has risen to almost a billion dollars and france could be planning to keep its own rapid reaction force in west africa after its military operation there is a move that will only further destabilize the region according to lawrence freeman head of the african desk at executive intelligence review magazine. which is going to happen now is that you can see a reliance on special forces from the french who are sort of issue no support it's going to come from the united states probably russell through great britain and the african troops are going to be then left with the task and we're actually carrying out the let me bring out the jihad it's extreme and this is going to be very coarsely so france will stay there is expected in various ways the u.s. and britain will stay there and expand their operations and the african soldiers are going to be the ones who. be dying during out this attack on the islam system

and this is all not going to lead to any positive solution north africa is. hell their war will be. legalized these countries as a result of this policy and that's exactly what really blair announced on very very he said north africa is where we're going to be for the next generation. u.s. army private bradley manning is about to face a new round of pretrial hearings that he faces a number of charges for allegedly handing classified data to the wiki leaks website the most serious is quote aiding the enemy which could land behind bars for life mass rallies have been held in over seventy cities across the world to mark one thousand days of years of detention attorney kevin zeese explains why many believe his treatment is unlawful. judge did recognize in the motion this moves for the solitary confinement that manning was treated improperly and did take one hundred

days off were obvious whenever a sentence of any he ends up with so the judge doesn't recognize the government and went too far as that's a positive it is and i hope that the judge will recognize that delaying this trial where they have is enough reason to dismiss the case that a certain point all of the government's. and the outrageous government conduct need to be recognized in the keys and it is easily dismissed especially since he should not have served in one day if you will look forward you've got to first look back and recognize when the crimes were committed and hold people accountable to do that and unfortunately president obama not do that and say he's holding whistleblowers accountable he's used the espionage act more than every other president combined it's a disgrace it's a nontransparent administration is ever to stop people from coming forward and reporting crimes of the united states and its activities abroad. britain's unemployment benefits and to provide a safety net for anyone between jobs looking for the next career opportunity for

some of the truck to getting out of bed to go to work doesn't really seem worth it . to reports i couldn't really believe my luck to be honest i mean it was just a dream i thought this is amazing you know british government is helping me out you know i needed somewhere to live and i don't have a job not the what do you expect to hear from someone who's fallen on hard times housing benefits allowed stephanie to rent a flat in this poll said block in london's glitzy may fat by myself i could always barely afford a studio in central london when i was working and. looking for a job and central in the spacious flat it just makes you really lazy it's a sprawling and complicated system but one that allows a family of four to claim up to thirty five thousand. pounds a year from housing to child care and unemployment benefits i've known people on

benefits and they've been able to afford new cars that have been able to afford to go abroad on holiday i've never actually been abroad on holiday before in my life so how on earth can they afford a good holiday when they're on benefits and i'm workin on our current ford to do that. that's what makes me angry. is the growth and growth before well for a start to do many more things for people there's no doubt but for a certain segment of society we basically have communities imbedded in well for generations of people who have not worked the welfare state was all the idea of a man who might well be turning in his grave william beverages an idea of the five giant evils of society squalor ignorance want idleness and disease some of the very qualities that critics say the system encourages beverage was arctic wealth

should only provide you with subsistence levels of support and it should only do so for a short period of top seventy years down the line and welfare spending is the biggest item of government expenditure milking it is so widespread it's become a source of satire you know dave everwhere told us here we've been on the disability allowance at caltech he worked at docklands. years if you think that man is just ability allowance he's got a bone to see which called. westminster now wants to make it clear that benefit on to a career path and coming through the doors of your local job center a year in and year out filling in a few forms and claiming your money is no longer an option but for people that have been through the experience of claiming unemployment benefit they say it's all too

easy to get money no one's really checking whether or not you're genuinely looking for work. artsy. just a moment on a. breaking of the sat that is next here on today. there is an old urban legend that says that the u.s. army stopped using circular targets for rifle practice because the soldiers would be hesitant to shoot at people on the battlefield the logic is that if you practice shooting something that looks like an enemy soldier you'll be desensitized about killing real enemy soldiers so again the logic is to practice shooting at what you want to kill so you won't hesitate and speaking of not hesitating the law enforcement targets incorporated as.
